Our Support Service Benefits
Project Management
We provide complete project management and sourcing of 3rd party tools through trusted offshore and domestic mold making partners.
Experience
Knowledge from our mold-making origins and expertise from our long-time tool designers allows us to build valued partnerships with our customers.
Routine Maintenance
Precision molding relies on tool maintenance at regular intervals. We automatically schedule maintenance to keep your tool in top notch shape.
Prototype Support
We’re a proud Carbon 3D production partner. Get end-use quality parts without tooling. Ideal for both prototypes and low-volume production.

Routine Tool Maintenance
All customer tools receive routine preventive maintenance at appropriate intervals, assured by automatic scheduling in Nicolet Plastic’s enterprise software. Nicolet Plastics has a fully equipped tool room and a staff of tool makers and trained maintenance staff to perform both consistent mold upkeep.

Tool Transfer
Mold transfers are inherently challenging as it potentially disrupts production, so you’ll want a supplier that’s responsive and well-versed at project management. You can count on Nicolet Plastics to facilitate a tool transfer that minimizes lost production time.
A smooth transfer supports improved product quality, pricing, service and lead time. Technical challenges can emerge during the process, but Nicolet Plastics knows how to respond to unforeseen circumstances.

Plastic Part Prototype Support
Nicolet Plastics offers several prototyping services for your plastic part design:
- Carbon DSL technology: end-use quality parts without tooling. Learn more
- Conventional 3D printing prototypes
- Bridge (temporary) tooling, in-house single-cavity mold making

Prototype Parts
We believe that it’s important to test your market by first testing your product. Nicolet Plastics offers you an affordable method of testing with prototype parts that are:
- Available in a variety of materials
- Widely available in machined versions
- Helpful in assisting you proof out the design prior to building production tooling
- Prepared to make a flawless entrance into the market
Contact us for prototype specification sheets.
Prototype Tooling
Of course, every design needs proofing before hitting the mass market. This is a small step that can generate very large returns. Nicolet Plastics’ prototype tooling offers you a low-cost alternative means of:
- Producing a limited quantity of parts so you can test with actual molded parts that will exhibit all the same physical properties of the production parts
- Proofing the conceptual part design for product improvements
- Narrowing down material classifications to determine what materials work best
At Nicolet Plastics, your first small steps are a critical part of the larger leap forward. Make a seamless transition to mass market with Nicolet Plastics by contacting us today!
